This review is from: Arrangement (Paperback)

The other reviewers are quite complimentary, but I thought that the book rambled. The message was clear after the first two hundred pages or so. It is an important message, but was all the information about his father central to the point that we all make accommodations to survive? Also, is it realistic to assume that the narrator has become liberated at the end or is he simply bound to create and accrue other arrangements?

The book seemed like a 250 page book extended to 500 pages. Interesting references to the narrator's Communist activities. They seemed like gratuitous inclusions until I was told about the author's past with the McCarthy hearings.
